Editors' Review

GO SMS Pro enables you to connect with friends through SMS texts via standard service or Internet connection. With tools not found in default messaging applications and a basic, streamlined design, GO SMS is a viable alternative and upgrade to your standard messaging application.

Pros

Plenty of tools: GO SMS Pro does more than basic messaging. You can lock the application for safety reasons and establish a privacy box to hide away secret messages. We found the SMS Blocker performed perfectly in our tests when blocking by keyword or phone number.

Good layout: The bright design and well-designed layout make using the app very easy. Also, GO SMS gives you the option of increasing text size, which may be helpful for those with vision impairments.

Cons

Lackluster response: GO SMS Pro has many tools and screens, but loading new windows took longer than comparable applications. Objects did not always activate when clicked, which is bothersome if you are used to a faster response time.

Additional downloads: Dozens of themes, fonts, and stickers are available on GO SMS, but this requires downloading additional add-ons from Google Play. Those with limited storage space or download capabilities are limited to only two standard design options.

Bottom Line

GO SMS Pro sends and receives messages perfectly despite its lack of speed. Personalized options take longer to install but are attractive and entertaining. GO SMS Pro is great for those traveling overseas that want a free messaging application, but we suggest all others to look into other messaging applications to find what suits them best.
